Jimzk5 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Couldnt find a suitable thread to put this in, Mods please move if needed The bbc have produced a table of premier league clubs performances from 2009/10 season till now, it makes for pretty grim viewing for villa In those years we were in the premier league, we played 263 games, amassing an embarrassing 63 wins, 75 draws and 125 defeats and a -151 goal difference over those games, only 7 teams fair worse than us in the average points per game In that time we've gone through 6 managers, 7 if you count dean Smith (not counting RDM or Bruce in the championship) So as the decade draws to an end what were your 3 lowest points in that time? My 3 The fa cup final defeat Bradford humiliation The 15 - 0 run of games over Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted December 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2019 I guess the times i've felt saddest about villa, like borderline tears sad: Summer of '18 in the weeks following our playoff defeat. Genuinely concerned our club might go under Stoke equaliser after being 2 up. That day every fan, player, and member of coaching staff knew that champions league dream had gone, even though we were very much still in the mix. Something about that goal meant that we all just KNEW. how different things might have been. Weirdly, last Saturday is right up there. I had a real meltdown after a few too many and was out with a bunch of chirpy bournemouth fans who look like they're staying up once again whereas we're right in the shitter. If i thought about it hard enough i could probably think of others. The relegation season i cant even say i was sad at the end...it has been on the cards for years so it was just so inevitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was off scouting at West Brom u23 vs Fulham u23 match!!! He is a proper good guy to talk too i told him i was off scouting at the match and also about my Aplastic Anaemia aged 8 and how i beat that which is very similar to Leukaemia that he had and also beat. First time i have ever met him. Edited December 18, 2019 by Villan4Life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I will go for football related issues as lot of personal stuff off the pitch has happened to Villa people 1. Tony Xia 2. Bradford 3. Kolo Toure popping up to make it 6-0 to show that relegation team was a complete laughing stock honourable mentions. Christmas 2012, cup upsets, Fa Cup final, the tactics at Spurs, Fulham, Richards and Lescott Has been a brilliant decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Sitting in a curry house near Wembley after witnessing a Villa side not even lay on a punch on the opposition in the final. Knowing what we had just done wasn't sustainable and that we were going to go to the **** wall. That was a bad time. Relegation was a relief compared to that day.

CoNnErS Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Being 2-0 up at the King Power Stadium and making the future champions look like mugs. Sat watching it thinking, f**k me, we look a really good team! As false dawns go....... Watching the most one sided FA Cup Final in history and seeing Tim Sherwood stood on the touchline looking like a rabbit in headlights. Dalian Atkinson passing away. Had a tear in my eye when Match Of The Day played out the show with his goal against Wimbledon. Oh and being the very first team to be knocked out of the 3rd round of the FACup when we lost to Millwall on a Friday night has always stuck in my throat.

mikeyp102 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Having to put up with that rocket polisher Bacuna, I’ve never felt so much anger for someone I’ve never met. From him fighting the ref, fighting his own players because they were better than him at a freekick, to him laughing when we were relegated. Horrible The bradford semi final. We had a chance for a trophy, we could’ve won the cup, we play a league one side over two legs. We mess it up badly. Lambert showing his tactical genius of 4 strikers who all stood next to each other and never got the ball. 14/15 season, the football we played was atrocious, it made me hate the sport I’d loved since a child. It’s only been the last year where I have started watching other matches again outside of Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Losing the FA Cup final to Arsenal was no great surpise, losing the play-off final meant we had to suffer the humiliation and indignity of spending a third season in the championship, and also put the very future of the club in jeopardy. In some ways looking back it turned out to be one of the best moments, but at the time there couldn't have been a greater catastrophe for the club to bear even in it's worst nightmares.
